Etymology

From weight + -er.

Meanings

  1. One who weights or assigns a weighting.
    • Thus, for example, if i assigns j a weight of 0.3 as a weighter of weighters of others in the group, it is reasonable to suppose that if i asks himself what weight to assign to j at the next level as a weighter of weighters of weighters of members of the group, he will have no new information and again assign j a weight of 0.3 as he did at the previous level. 2012, R. Hilpinen, Rationality in Science, page 59:
